EHS Management System

General Rules

The EHS management system is a process of applying a quality system approach to manage EHS activities. This approach is a circular process (i. e., planning, implementation, evaluation, and adjustment), through the first loop, learning lessons, and then applying the lessons to the next cycle to improve and improve EHS management. The key to the system is people and procedures, that is, by connecting the company's EHS policy, legal requirements, business strategy and a series of requirements of the company, to achieve the continuous improvement of the overall EHS performance consistent with the company's EHS policy. In addition, the management system should include a set of procedures to identify and address the root cause of noncompliance.

The EHS Management System Model (the EHS-MS model) is a method or template to help compile or strengthen the EHS-MS. However, this does not mean that this specific management system must be adopted. Companies can form an existing management system based on other existing systems and procedures, or if they can focus on some parts of them. EHS-MS model has strong flexibility and adaptability, and can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the scale, complexity and factors of enterprise or facility operations to meet the requirements.

1.1 Purpose and Objectives

The potential benefits of EHS-MS include reducing injuries, accidents, pollutants, waste, operating costs and potential disadvantages, improving survivability, benefit, credibility and credibility. At the earliest possible stage of business planning, research and design, it helps to combine business management and EHS management together, and it can help to promote the unification of business objectives and EHS objectives. It looks at the effectiveness and efficiency of the entire process, and the long-term benefits of improving EHS performance and management levels.

The firm determines requirements to indicate what EHS Management emphasizes. Field personnel determine how they meet these requirements; this is not that all employees assume the same duty of action to meet a particular requirement. To succeed, all employees should have a consensus on the process.

The EHS-MS model has been outlined; each company uses this system to suit their own corporate image, business strategy, and values, if necessary. Relevant EHS-MS document, named EHS-MS Schema Guide (API Publ9100B), requires more assistance in preparing and implementing their own EHS-MS.

1.2 Scope

The scope of EHS-MS includes: clear and written requirements, objectives and priorities; specified, written and mutual responsibilities, obligations and permissions; development of procedures and documentation; appropriate resource allocation; appropriate training; regular monitoring of progress; appropriate adjustment of objectives and priorities; review of management effects; and communication with relevant parties.

Implementation activities include: clarifying the requirements of the leader and the owner, confirming the gap between working procedures and requirements, making clear priorities, compiling planning and tasks, allocating resources, preparation procedures, implementation planning, measuring effect, self-evaluation, improving EHS performance and management objectives according to business objectives and identified gaps, and starting the next cycle.

During the preparation of EHS-MS, companies with multinational companies should ensure that they are concise, audited and applicable, and appropriate in any country, regardless of their cultural background and operations.

1.3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions shall apply to this standard.

Some definitions of key terms are given below to enable management systems to be applied and discussed in a coordinated way between organizations and companies. This also avoids terms that produce technical or defined errors already used in other criteria, such as ISO14001 or ISO14004, and that may differ in EHS-MS re-application. Other terms are given in the vocabulary of the EHS-MS guide.

EHS policy

EHS policy is a statement of the principles and intentions of all their environment and occupational health and safety behaviors, which reflects the general direction and basic commitment of enterprises in environmental and occupational health and safety protection. Therefore, it can be said that the EHS policy is the general guiding direction and action principle of enterprises in the field of environmental and occupational health and safety protection, and also reflects the general commitment of the top managers to the environmental and occupational health and safety behavior. The EHS policy is also the driving force of all activities in the field of enterprise environment, occupational health and safety, involving all employees and other relevant parties, and each employee should understand and comply with it

A positive, time-cutting and feasible EHS policy will enable enterprises to determine the overall guidelines and action guidelines for environmental, occupational health and safety management, and provide an overall framework for establishing more specific environmental, occupational health and safety goals

The three commitments of EHS policy are to comply with applicable EHS laws, regulations and other requirements; to ensure continuous improvement; to prevent accidents and protect the safety and health of employees.
